The Great Jewish Bride is a 1635 ink by Rembrandt, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image is a black-and-white etching of a woman sitting in a chair. She’s wrapped in a heavy fur coat that covers her from shoulders to wrists. Her hands rest on her lap, and her face is turned slightly toward us, with a calm but serious expression. The artist used fine lines to show the texture of the fur and the folds of her clothing. The background is dark and plain, keeping all the focus on her. Look up etching to see how artists like Rembrandt create these detailed prints.
